Diagnostic Power: Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
CBCT technology is central to our diagnosis and surgical planning. Unlike traditional 2D imaging, CBCT delivers high-resolution 3D images of the teeth, bones, joints, and soft tissue structures—helping clinicians visualize minute anatomical details and tailor treatment with unparalleled accuracy.
CBCT Imaging Supports:
• Dental implant planning
• Orthodontic assessments
• Surgical mapping for impacted teeth or jaw cysts
• Complex root canal therapy
• Assessment of jaw tumors, deformities, or fractures
• Evaluation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
• Reconstructive facial trauma planning
• CBCT scans are fast, painless, and use low radiation doses, making them ideal for patients requiring precise imaging without added exposure risk.
